The Talmudic legend about Noah and the
planting of the vine is old and well known
enough, but it bears repetition and carries hs
moral:
Bowed down under his toll. dripping with
perspira,ion. stood the patriarch Nsah, labOring
TO break the hard clOds. All ct once Satan
appeared to him and said, what new under
taking have you in hand, what new fruit do
you expect to extract from these clOds?
~ plant the grape answered the patriarch.
1.-THE grapei Proud plantl Most precious
fruit Joy and delight to men Your labor 10 great
will you allow me to assist yous Let N share
In the labor of producing the winer
1.-THE patriarch in I'll OF exhaustion consented
Satan hastened and got lamb, slaughtered il,
and poured It's blood over the cleds Of earth.
Thence said Satan shall il come that those who
tlste Of the grape shall be softsprited and gen.
tie a. this lambr
But Noah sighed. Satan continued his
work he caught lion. slew il, and poured the
blood upon the soil prepared for the plant.
Thence shall it come said he, that those no
taste the juice of the grape shall be courageous
as the lion Noah shuddered.
Satan continuing his work seized and slsw
q pig, and drenched the soil with ito blood.
Thence shall it come said he, that those
who drink OF the juice OF the craps In excess
shall be filthy, degraded, and bestial a. swine"
In connection with this legend, We are also re-
mined of the modern fable of the sober pig and
drunken man.
They were lying on either side Of ditch, and
both had rings-one on his foyer, and the other
in bis nose Somebody passed by aud said aloud
Zone is known BY his company" Instantly the
pig got up and left

Can't. Davis Declines.

Prom the Gainesville Advocatal
The many freinds of Captain r. W. Davis will
regret to learn that he will not be . candidate
for Congressional honora We believe it is safe
to say that No man in this Congressional District
has more or truer friends than Captain Davis.
Had he concluded 70 have made the race there
seems no doubt of the fact that he would have
received the nomination without serious opposi
ton, and his election would have been a fore
gone conclusion. Captain Davis is one OF the
most gifted men in the Stale, his reputation ie
above reproach. and he has POI erful hold on the
affections ofthe people. The Palarka Nevs says:
The professional engagements of our honored
fellow citizen are % engrossing and his private
affairs claim 90 much of his personal attention
that duty to himself compels him to decline the
fattering suggestions of valued friends from ev
cry county in the district. While the Palatka
Nescs would be proud to support him, and to see
30 noble gentleman as well as q friend 80 tried
and true in position where his ability would be
of wider benefit TO our people, yet it reluctantly
announces positively and emphstically, that
Captain Davis will not be Q candidate for the
Congressional nomination, and could not accept
And Captain Davis is both grateful and firm in
making this announcement"

Savannah News.l

The attempt ola New York syndicate which
has purchased large body of land in Gadsden
county, Florida, to inaugurate the growing of
tobacco on a large scale, will be watched with a
great deal Of interest. Much Of the land of Flor
ida is said to be peculiarly adapted to the growth
of tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers, and this
is the kind of leaf which lie scarcest and brings
the highest price. In spite ola heavy duty,
many millions of pounds are imported annually
from Sumatra. The quality of the Florida lea f
is evidenced by the fact that one Gadsdcn count
farmer this year sold his crop for Doc. per pound
which is almost three times the average price of
Virginia tobacco. 1t may be that 10 this pro-
duct Florida will find as great source OF in
come as in oranges and other fruits 1t is new
aud valuable resource added to those of Slate
already rich in them.

The cultivation of this years crop of tobacco

tiOus seasons, and whe were experienced IN
the handling Of the delicate leaves after matu.

been no market, and the crop was planted - An
experiment by quite q number of our citizens
who felt encouraged to do so BY the purchase Of
some tobacco last spring by Mr. Vogt, Of New

encouragement. A still larger class did nos
